Description: Since 1918, Archiv für Musikwissenschaft is one of the leading
German periodicals for musicology. Articles in German and English deal with
topics from all musical periods, including ancient music, medieval songs as
well as contemporary compositions. The periodical focuses on the development
of European music in a historical as well as a systematic context, always aware
of the individuality and creativity of each single musical piece. It is the
editors' aim to create a forum for the discussion of musicological research
as well as to contribute to current debates of new developments.

The "moving wall" represents the time period between the last issue
available in JSTOR and the most recently published issue of a journal.
Moving walls are generally represented in years. In rare instances, a
publisher has elected to have a "zero" moving wall, so their current
issues are available in JSTOR shortly after publication.
Note: In calculating the moving wall, the current year is not counted.
For example, if the current year is 2008 and a journal has a 5 year
moving wall, articles from the year 2002 are available.

Terms Related to the Moving Wall

Fixed walls: Journals with no new volumes being added to the archive.

Absorbed: Journals that are combined with another title.

Complete: Journals that are no longer published or that have been
combined with another title.

Abstract

In spite of the established view in music historiography that new music in the twentieth century is essentially characterised by atonality, it is notable that explorations into new models of tonality stand out as a significant feature of new music in the second half of the century. This premise is demonstrated by selected examples which, due to their differing approaches, are subdivided into systematic groups that allude either to functional tonality or historical models of tonality, or create new directions in tonal composition via extreme reduction.
